I'm glad to hear about this effort. I want to make sure that you are aware of the ongoing LTO effort to implement whole program optimization. There is some more information available here: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/LinkTimeOptimization If you want to get your changes into mainline gcc, then it would be best if you were able to work within this framework. Thanks! Ian
